Davey Martinez’s club did rally from a 4-0 deficit, and they took the Chicago Cubs to extra innings last night, but the Washington Nationals came up short in the end. Nelson Cruz hit one out to center for a sac fly and the home team’s first run of the game in the sixth inning.
Ildemaro Vargas singled to drive in a run in the seventh.
Luke Voit and Lane Thomas both homered in the eighth inning to tie things up before the Nationals left the bases loaded on a groundout to second by Yadiel Hernández.
